As explained in many other threads through the years all infractions are judged on a case by case basis. Some infractions after discussion with the involved parties second warrant a warning and point penalty. Other infractions can and have warranted harsher sanctions with no second warning. It depends on the nature of the infraction and it depends on the discussion with, statements made, attitude of, etc. etc. of the parties involved in the infraction. We do try to work things out with squads and in many cases try to give them a second chance but it is not a rule or a right that any squad has that they get 1 strike before they are out.
We have removed squads without warning in the past for being no shows and when we inquired why and got a response along the lines of .. "we didn't show, its a game, get over it" we have removed them then and there. In several other cases when the squad explained .. "our CO was sick and our XO was out of town and they didn't forward the orders to us" we told the squad this is your first warning. It happens again will be suspended for a set period of time. Same type of infraction committed but still very different in the after case particulars. That is an example of a case by case basis and why sometimes a squad gets a second chance and sometimes not and is suspended for a set period of time before they are allowed to participate again in the event if they wish to at a future date.
